In my experience, jellyfin seems to think everything is anime for some reason.
I’ve had to go in to every single TV series and manually enter Metadata.
Not a huge deal I only have a few series’ but man it’s weird.
Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!

One thing jellyfin doesnt do well its anime content. But fortunately there’s Shoko Server, a metadata engine you can selfhost. Its awesome!

You can also change the directories names, appending [MVDB ID], so that for the future if you ever happen to have to reinstall jellyfin, it’ll automatically repopulate them how they were :)

I need some explanation in the “Anime” part, I don’t get it ?

Well, jellyfin often doesn’t find the right metadata for anime episodes ecc, so theres this thing called Shoko Server that calculates a checksum of your files, compares it with the database over at anidb, and creates a virtual filesystem for jellyfin to make things easier! It’s pretty neat. Do you have additional questions?

That’s all for now, thanks

It works pretty well for me but I separate anime and TV/movies, and make sure the anime library is only scraping data from anime-centric databases.

Yeah also with shoko you have to create a library only for animes (only one for both series and films tho). Idk, last time I checked jellyfin sucked. Maybe now its better. Another thing that shoko does is automatically track your progress on anidb, so thats cool :)
